portfolio is organized by
project. These projects
are in chronological

for the projects range
from second year
through fourth year at
Ball State University.
Projects are included
from student work as
well as from work done
while as an intern.

4. PATOKA LAKE
RECREATIONAL PLAN
Patoka Lake is
located south
of French Lick,
Indiana. the
project takes
a site that
is currently
undeveloped.
the design’s goal
DAMMED
is to preserve the
beauty of the
natural site while
granting access
to the public
to enjoy the
natural beauty.
The project
also utilizes
recreational
and commercial
opportunities.

6. UNION CITY GREENWAY
Union City straddles the
border of Indiana and
Ohio. This project utilizes
a greenway system that
runs right through the
heart of downtown. As
the trail crosses the
border the state to state
connection is celebrated.

8. INTEGRATING HABITAT
The Integrating Habitats project takes
advantage of an infill opportunity in a traditional
single unit neighborhood in Portland, Oregon.
The design goal is to increase density while
preserving the diverse habitat.The design uses
green technology to create linkages both within
and outside the site, and to create habitat.

10. INDIANA GREENLINE
The Indiana Greenline is a commuter rail
that would run through many communities
stretching from Muncie, Indiana to
Indianapolis, Indiana. This project focuses
on the community of Lawrence, specifically
the rail line depot and the development
around it. This design communicates a rich
and diverse community centered around
transportation oriented development.

12. ROCK AND WATER GARDEN
The rock and water garden is an
instructional garden in a theoretical
botanical garden. The primary focus
is using Indiana’s rock resources as
well as native plants to create a
diverse and exciting yet peaceful
environment.The paths take the
visitor on a linear journey with many
experiences in a relatively small area.

14. AMBERSON MANSION
The Amberson Mansion design
is based on a site in Muncie,
Indiana. The project criteria
was to design the planting
plan based on what might
have been designed in
the early 1900s. The design
implements formal plantings and
arrangements near the base
of the house and becoming
more organic and natural as
one moves away from the
house. The design also features
a reflecting pool and natural
pond.

16. SYCAMORE HILLS
This nine hole golf course is designed on the site of McCulloch
Park in Muncie, Indiana. The course design utilizes the existing
vegetation as well as the existing topography to create a
diverse, exciting and unique nine hole golf course. The southern
portion of the course runs along the White River. Beautiful
Sycamores that exist in the park are taken advantage of and
used as specimen trees, from this comes the name Sycamore Hills.

18. MILITARY PARK
Military Park is located just north of the
Indiana State Museum in the Canal
District of Indianapolis, Indiana. The
design creates a diverse park for
many users. It pays homage to the
military with an interactive fountain
symbolizing a 21 gun salute. Keeping
the context in mind the park features
outdoor classrooms shown in the plan
detail. This project was completed by
a five member team. I acted as the
project manager.
master plan designed in collaberation with the team
and rendered by a separate team member.
Detail plan was designed and rendered by myself.

20. WASHINGTON STREETSCAPE
This full streetscape renovation from utilities to aesthetics is designed for Washington
St., downtown Goshen, Indiana. This was done while working for Wightman Petrie
Inc. The design includes safer parking through the use of angled parking and bump
outs. The pedestrian is specifically adhered to through crosswalks, seat walls around
planting beds, bicycle racks and intricate paving patterns. I had the opportunity to
have input on some of the last phases of the design as well as rendering the plan.

22. U.S. 33 BEAUTIFICATION
The section of U.S. 33 that connects Goshen
with Elkhart in the state of Indiana has become
overcome with sprawl stretching from both
cities.The city of Goshen has chosen to
recognize this section of the highway as a
gateway into the heart of their city. Through
a pedestrian way, unified lighting, signage,
plantings and even sculptural pieces, steps
are being taken to reclaim the gateway and
connection between these cities. This project
is designed by Wightman Petrie Inc. I had the
opportinuty to have input on the design and
render the detail plans and the perspectives.

24. CITY CENTER PARK City Center Park is located
in Elkhart, Indiana. To the
east of the site is the St.
Joseph River and to the
west is the civic plaza. This
design takes the parking
once located on the
site and re-organizes the
parking around the site.
The park is designed to
be a passive space that
would display community
artwork, provide gatheirng
space, and provide
space for recreation.The
city of Elkhart hosts a jazz
festival every summer
that is very popular.
This site implements an
ampitheater that fits into
the existing topography to
be utilized during this time
as well as for additional
performances. This project
was designed at Wightman
Petrie Inc.

26. HILCO DEVELOPMENT
The Hilco
Development
is an industrial
and commercial
development in
Elkhart, Indiana.
This project
included many
design concepts.

27. LOTS 3 AND 4 CONCEPT
The Lots 3 and
4 Concept is
part of a much
larger planned
community
development in
Elkhart, Indiana.
This is a commercial
lot concept for
the commercial
zone of the overall
development.

28. STORM WATER AMPITHEATER
GROUND PLANE
The storm water
ampitheater is
designed to be an
exciting and intriguing
gathering place. In
addition it is used to
collect storm water
and recharge the
ground table. This
would be done
in a manner that
would be visible and
educational.
